Description

This test case verifies functionality of Braille output in a graphical user environment (desktop) using a virtual Braille device. This allows to test the BRLTTY + Orca cooperation without the need to use physical Braille devices (which are rare and expensive).

Setup

  • Install the pre-release version of Fedora that is to be tested on a bare metal or virtual machine, ensuring that BRLTTY is included in the installation.
  • Install the "brltty-xw" package by running sudo dnf install brltty-xw in the terminal.

How to test

  1. Power on the system and wait for it to boot up.
  2. Login to GNOME desktop.
  3. Start Orca (e.g. by pressing Super+Alt+s).
  4. From the terminal, run brltty -b xw -A auth=none -e to open a virtual Braille display.
  5. Open a simple application (e.g. a text editor).
  6. Arrange windows, so you can see both the content of the application and the virtual Braille display at the same time.
  7. Perform various operations (e.g. typing and editing text) and verify that updates are accurately reflected on the virtual Braille display.

Expected Results

  1. A window showing Braille and Latin letters should open after starting brltty.
  2. Braille output must accurately reflect the content of the application throughout the test.
